Chapter 725 If I said I didn't know, would you believe me?

Chapter 725 If I said I didn't know, would you believe me?

Huo Zhizhou remained silent for a moment.

He thought.

I really want to.

They want to be a family of three wherever they go.

"Dad still has work to do here." He didn't want to put too much pressure on his children, so he chose to lie. "I'll come back to you when I'm done."

Sui Sui: Really?

Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."

Sui Sui asked again, "How long will it take you to finish your work?"

"It will be at least six months from now." Huo Zhizhou lied without hesitation.

"So long," Sui Sui said in a muffled voice.

"It hasn't been long," Huo Zhizhou comforted him, not wanting him to have too many emotions. "I'll come back to see you next time you have a holiday."

Sui Sui: "During this period..."

Huo Zhizhou fell silent.

Sui Sui pressed on, saying, "I understand."

Huo Zhizhou patted his head: "Good boy."

"I hope you keep your word and we'll meet again in six months." Sui Sui reached out her hand and made a pinky promise with him. "If you don't keep your promise, you're a little dog."

“Okay.” Huo Zhizhou pulled him along.

The two made a pinky promise.

Jiang Yu tried to speak, but ultimately held back.

"Are you sure you don't want to come back with us?" Sui Sui asked again.

Huo Zhizhou: "Dad has other things to do."

Sui Sui: "Please answer my question directly."

Huo Zhizhou pinched his nose: "Where did you learn that?"

Sui Sui: "You haven't answered yet."

Huo Zhizhou was still thinking about how to give a better answer.

I'm afraid of hurting the child's feelings by giving a direct answer.

By beating around the bush, Sui Sui would feel that he was avoiding the question.

"I don't want to live with hope and expectation. If you can't do that, don't give me any expectations." Sui Sui used a ruthless trick to trick him. "Will you go back to Haicheng in the next six months?"

"It depends," Huo Zhizhou said, not giving a definitive answer.

Sui Sui: "..."

"I won't go back unless it's something important and urgent." Huo Zhizhou's words came from the bottom of his heart. "If you and your mother need me, I will go back."

"You stinky dad!" Sui Sui really meant it.

Even after all this, you still won't fall for it.

How he mocked him afterwards.

snort!

"No matter how busy Daddy is, you'll always be Daddy's darling." Huo Zhizhou didn't realize this was a trap and was still thinking about how not to hurt the child's feelings. "When you get back, listen to your mommy and don't cause trouble."

Sui Sui remained silent.

I don't know how to describe my feelings.

Looking at his father from the perspective of someone who already knows the situation, he feels sorry for him and also feels that his actions are not very filial.

"Knock knock".

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Bei poking his head out from the doorway: "Miss Jiang is here."

Jiang Yu subconsciously looked at Huo Zhizhou.

The latter's body was very tense.

There was no immediate response.

He's currently preoccupied with whether Jiang Ruan will think this is a ploy to make him suffer, a deliberate act of self-inflicted injury to keep her and for her and Sui Sui to see. If she thinks that way, how should he explain it?

"BOSS?" Assistant Jiang reminded him.

"You all go out," Huo Zhizhou said, his voice trembling with suppressed emotion. "I'll talk to her alone."

Regardless of her doubts or what.

He would explain everything to her.

He didn't want her to misunderstand, and he didn't want her to think that he was behind it.

Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."

The next second.

He left with Sui Sui.

Huo Zhizhou was the only one left in the entire ward.

Just as he was wondering how to start the conversation, Jiang Ruan walked in from outside. She was wearing a long trench coat, and her hair was pulled back, giving her a more capable and intellectual look.

She closed the door, cutting off all sight and sound.

Huo Zhizhou just watched as she walked towards him step by step, her expression calm and without any emotional fluctuation, and as she sat down on the chair next to him and put the box in her hand aside.

Huo Zhizhou: "You..."

Jiang Ruan: "Are you hungry?"

The two colleagues spoke up.

Huo Zhizhou: "I'm not hungry."

Jiang Ruan opened the box and took out the nutritional meal that the nutritionist had specially prepared for him: "If you're not hungry after not eating for so long, it means there's something wrong with your stomach. Eat these first."

Huo Zhizhou: "Okay."

He didn't refute or oppose him.

Like an obedient marionette.

Jiang Ruan handed him one of the boxes: "Take a look and see if these suit your taste."

"Yes," Huo Zhizhou replied.

As long as you are here.

It's good to eat anything.

Jiang Ruan didn't think about his deeper meaning and kept a proper distance: "Then you eat first, and we'll talk after you finish eating."

In short.

Huo Zhizhou was left standing there.

He put down the lunchbox he was holding, his dark, unfathomable eyes looking at her: "I didn't know Huo Si would inform you about the annual meeting..."

"Eat first," Jiang Ruan said, offering only two words.

These two words were what made Huo Zhizhou's mind start working.

The fact that they didn't deny it means that what Jiang Yu and the others said is true.

Ruan Ruan knew that Huo Sinian had told her.

"I have something to talk to you about after we finish eating." Jiang Ruan remained polite and distant.

Huo Zhizhou lowered his eyes.

For the first time, I felt that even with Ruanruan around, it was difficult to swallow food.

He knew what she was going to say.

She's leaving.

I'm leaving.

I will never come here again.

Even though I knew the outcome long ago and had already accepted it, I still feel terrible right now.

"You go first," Huo Zhizhou said, putting down the lunchbox.

Jiang Ruan looked up at him, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Huo Zhizhou interpreted it as her being too lazy to care about him anymore and letting him do as he pleased.

"Jiang Yu and the others should have told you how you got into the hospital." Jiang Ruan cut straight to the point, wasting no time.

Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."

Jiang Ruan: "What do you think?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Would you believe me if I said I had no knowledge of it?"

Jiang Ruan: "I believe you."

Huo Zhizhou paused.

The vision that had dimmed brightened again.

She...believes?

“They were all kept in the dark, how could you possibly know?” Jiang Ruan was a rational person who had her own thoughts and judgments when dealing with things, so she naturally knew that Huo Zhizhou was unaware of this matter.

Furthermore, given his personality, he wouldn't do such a thing.

If it's going to be done, it should have been done sooner.

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Huo Zhizhou rarely showed a hint of doubt: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Ruan was surprised: "Didn't you already know?"

Huo Zhizhou: "They told me that Huo Sinian brought people to my home and injured me, and they were caught off guard."

Jiang Ruan was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, they didn't tell the truth.

"Did Jiang Yu say this?"

"Jiang Yu and Lin Bei said it together." Huo Zhizhou sensed something was wrong.

“Although the process is slightly different, the result is similar.” Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and guessed that this might be a play put on by Sui Sui and them. After all, apart from Sui Sui, Assistant Jiang would not make up stories randomly.

Huo Zhizhou looked at her.

Jiang Ruan told him the whole story.

Jiang Yulinbei's scheme, Huo Sinian's play within a play, their belief that he was dead, and so on.

There was not a single mistake or omission.

“I’ve always known I didn’t want you to die,” Jiang Ruan said, expressing her emotions. “But hearing the doctor announce your death was a different feeling altogether.”

It's indescribable and cannot be put into words.

It's a tight, oppressive, suffocating pain in my chest.

There was nowhere to vent, and no words could express it.

"I'm sorry..." Huo Zhizhou said in a hoarse voice, "I will have a good talk with Huo Sinian, and I will also talk to Jiang Yulin and the others."

He can tolerate many things.

But he wouldn't allow it because it involved Ruan Ruan.

It was especially frightening for her.

"No need," Jiang Ruan said.
